While that may sound farfetched to some, Henne has the type of strong arm that suits the Jags' offense, and he may prove to be a better option than Gabbert, at least for now.

And while it is unknown how much, if any, time that Gabbert will miss, Henne can become one of the better game-managing backups the NFL has to offer if needed, and he should have no problem staying out of the way of Maurice Jones-Drew.

While Jones-Drew will get his requisite 24-30 carries each and every week, regardless of the QB, Henne might add a new element to the offense.

Downfield throws and play-action passes have been a struggle for Jacksonville this season, as through two weeks the Jaguars have averaged 6.2 and 2.5 yards-per-pass, respectively.

Henne has a history with the vertical passing game and will be able to utilize the speed of a big-play receiver like Justin Blackmon.

Opponents will obviously have to respect the constant threat of MJD, and that will mean secondaries that cannot play too far away from the box.
